Byleth, Constance enter the scene

Ah! Another failure!
link
Constance
volume_up

How?! Was there an error in my calculations?
link
Constance
volume_up

I had precious few materials as things stood! Where will I get more once these run out?
link
I'm really sorry...
link
Constance
volume_up

Oh, don't act so rueful.
link
Constance
volume_up

You carried out my directions faithfully. Neither the credit nor the blame ought to be yours.
link
Constance
volume_up

My grand achievement is further away than I had hoped... House Nuvelle's future seems so dim.
link
Constance
volume_up

You're correct, of course. I mustn't be discouraged.
link
Constance
volume_up

It is hard to maintain one's patience after five years.
link
Constance
volume_up

But in the greater context of the history of House Nuvelle, five years is barely worth counting!
link
That's the spirit.
link
Constance
volume_up

I have been in a low place indeed to require so much reassurance...
link
Constance
volume_up

And for your reassurance, I am truly grateful. You have spurred me to continue my research.
link
Constance
volume_up

You've been useful to me in many ways, in fact. Research assistant...confidant...test subject...
link
Constance
volume_up

All of this is preparing you well for your greater role to come.
link
Which is...
link
Constance
volume_up

My personal attendant! There are few as naturally servile as you in all of Fódlan.
link
Constance
volume_up

When House Nuvelle is at long last restored, we simply must find a proper position for you.
link
Constance
volume_up

Granted, this will be difficult—perhaps even impossible—to accept, given your current status.
link
Constance
volume_up

But I rarely let the impossible stop me!
link
Constance
volume_up

I shall see it all done—the restoration of my house, installing you as my servant, and more!
link
Constance
volume_up

Are you ready for the next steps? Ahaha!
link
...I'm glad you've perked up.
link
Constance
volume_up

Oh, come now. My sulk ended minutes ago. Do keep up.
link
Constance
volume_up

But on the rare occasion that I find myself at a loss, I grant you permission to lift my spirits.
link
Constance
volume_up

I don't know that I care for the hint of resignation in your tone, but no matter.
link
Constance
volume_up

I expect you to do your all for the sake of my house, nonetheless!
link
Constance
volume_up

Ahahaha!
